IronGlass Brings Legendary Soviet Cinema Lenses to Mirrorless Cameras

Morromist: What was so amazing about this company's soviet era camera lenses?I googled it and all the pages were just this company saying "Yeah! We rehouse amazing soviet era lenses in modern lens bodies!" | Which is cool, but where's the "legendary" part of the story? Like, why would you want one as opposed to another lens?

sosodev: These prices are insane. You can buy all (most?) of the lenses they’re recreating for a fraction of the price and adapt them to a mirrorless camera no problem. I bought a Helios 44-2 recently for $100 and adapted it to my camera for like $15.

sega_sai: Some bizarre obsession with 'Soviet'. Did they invent optics, that was since forgotten ?
